"I have suffered with severe constipation for years, and I use 2 tbsp GaviLyte-G in 16 oz of water twice a day (both glasses at night a few hours apart), and I go regularly now. It has helped me so much! No cramping, a little gassy, but doesn’t hurt. This stuff is a lifesaver!"

"I was severely constipated, and the ER prescribed this. I drank all but a couple of cups of it. It didn't taste bad, but I only had a small amount of poop come out after an hour and spent the rest of the day peeing out my butt, basically."

"I can't imagine how it must taste plain. The way I prepared it was not bad at all. I made homemade lemonade, lots of lemon juice, and some sugar. Probably not super healthy, but it's all coming out anyway! All you need is 1 3/4 cups white sugar, 6 cups of warm water, and 1 1/2 cups lemon juice for each batch. The water has to be warm, or the laxative won't dissolve right, and it will be a nasty texture like many other people have complained of. Give it a taste test before you add it to the jug. The more lemony it is, the less you'll taste the saltiness of the meds. Lemon > sugar taste, I promise! Hope this helps someone :) Chase it with a bit of water, and the only aftertaste will be a light lemon flavor!"
